YOUR MISSION

True Anomaly is seeking a motivated and technically curious Electro-Optical Engineer II to contribute to the design, analysis, and characterization of advanced imaging and sensing payloads for our spacecraft programs. In this role, you will support optical system development across the full hardware lifecycle — from performance modeling and specification development through bench-level testing and hardware characterization — working alongside experienced engineers on a team that ships hardware to space. You bring solid fundamentals in optics, imaging science, or physics, a hands-on mindset, and the eagerness to grow your skills in a fast-paced, mission-critical environment.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Design, model, and analyze imaging systems for space-based payload applications, from concept through fielding
Develop and maintain end-to-end imaging system performance models, including radiometric, signal chain, and image quality analyses
Support and execute hardware characterization and metrology activities, including bench-level testing of optical assemblies, detectors, and sensors
Author and maintain optical and imaging system specifications, interface requirements, and test plans
Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software engineering teams to ensure imaging system requirements are properly flowed down and verified
Support design reviews, presenting optical system performance analyses and test results to internal and customer audiences
Identify and track imaging system performance risks, driving analysis and mitigation efforts in coordination with the broader Payloads team
Contribute to the development of ground support equipment and test infrastructure for optical payload characterization
Apply programming skills (MATLAB, Python, or equivalent) to develop and maintain analysis tools, data reduction pipelines, and simulation frameworks

QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor's degree in Physics, Optics, Imaging Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field (Master's preferred)
2-4 years of professional experience in optical systems engineering, imaging system development, or a related technical role
Demonstrated experience with optical system modeling, analysis, or characterization
Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, or a comparable programming language for engineering analysis and data processing
Strong fundamentals in optics, radiometry, and imaging physics with the ability to engage credibly across multi-discipline hardware teams
Excellent written and verbal communication skills

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

Experience with radiometric budgeting and end-to-end signal chain performance analysis for imaging systems
Experience working on space applications, including space-based imaging or remote sensing payloads
Hands-on experience with imaging system metrology, including optical bench testing, detector characterization, and image quality measurement
Familiarity with stray light analysis, wavefront error budgeting, or optical tolerance analysis tools (e.g., Zemax/OpticStudio, FRED, CODE V)
Familiarity with electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor systems
Experience with image processing algorithms and pipeline development
Experience working in a fast-paced, startup environment or a similarly dynamic setting

COMPENSATION

Base Salary: $95,000 - $155,000
Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and

may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and

skills, education, location, and experience.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Work Location—this role will be onsite at our Centennial, CO location.
Work environment—the work environment; temperature, noise level, inside or outside, or other factors that will affect the person's working conditions while performing the job.
Physical demands—the physical demands of the job, including bending, sitting, lifting and driving.
